Fix "new sentence, new line" warnings throughout so that formatters can produce correct spacing between sentences. join.1 Remove unnecessary Ns macros. These are not necessary for delimeters, which get special treatment. xinstall.1 Fix date in manual. The contents were last modified on 2016-12-03, so use that instead of the invalid date. grep.1 Fix escape sequence for `\<` and `\>`. ed.1 Remove spurious `\\n` escape for the null-command.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
and writes a decoded version to the file specified in the uuencoded header.
|
|
In case the file already exists, it is truncated.
|
|
Otherwise a new file is created.
|
|
The permissions of the created/accessed file are changed to reflect the
|
|
mode in the header.
|
|
If no
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is given
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads from stdin.

.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|

|

Trying to uudecode to a link, directory, or special file
|
|
yields an error.
